Dwell Magazine has released a special issue featuring their favorite homes from the last ten years of Dwell. Cottam Hargrave’s Ranch House is featured as one of one hundred of their favorite homes. Look for the issue on newsstands and online.
Cottam Hargrave is excited to participate in the first annual Outdoor Living Tour. The Clear Link House will be featured on the tour and is presented by Modern Pools, Inc.
For more information please visit the Outdoor Living Tour’s website.
We were invited to participate in the Hello, Birdie Birdhouse competition and gala at Big Red Sun. Bids on our house will start at $350 – proceeds will benefit Uplift Austin – a non-profit orginization committed to engaging students through their environment.
Cottam Hargrave designed and constructed a birdhive for purple martins with maximum adaptability. Six stacked units are secured by two custom four-foot bolts that connect the top unit to the bottom unit. After unfastening the bolts, the modular units can be re-arranged so that the openings face different orientations allowing for service accessibility. The birdhive is composed of reclaimed long leaf pine and scrap mild steel. We can build a pivoting mast to meet the specific requirements of the owner.
The Birdhive
Beth Engelland, partner in architecture + construction + fabrication firm Cottam Hargrave, discusses the concept of the design of one of their recent projects, the Westlake Residence. Beth explains the steel erection. A crane lifts steel decking for the elevated pool into place while Jay Hargrave, Craig Kerins and Hazey Fairless direct the pieces into place and fasten them with powder-actuated nails.
Architecture + construction + fabrication firm Cottam Hargrave discusses the concept of the design of one of their recent projects, the Westlake Residence. Beth Engelland walks viewers through the site explaining the construction methods of the J-wall and the ideas of the entry sequence. This 8,000 square foot house is located in West Lake Hills, just off of Lake Austin. White limestone, white stucco and floor to ceiling window walls yield a unique study in minimalism.
Right now we are hard at work getting ready to begin construction of the helicopter hangar. This project is designed to minimize its visual impact from an existing residence. The hangar and landing pad will occupy an existing clearing that is downhill from the house. The hangar will be partially sunk into the hillside and connected to the landscaping with an intensive green roof which will be landscaped with a variety of native Texas grasses.
